Even with the initials you may have retirement money there if you need it. That’s a load of value in the market.
I don't need it. I'll let them pass to my grandchildren. As a kid, my dad frequented a cigar store and gamble on pinball machines, while I read comics on the stands (the owner allowed me as long as I was careful with them). I'd pick my favorites and take them home. Back then, they were 10 to 12 cents each. My dad griped about it, saying they were a waste of money (but not his gambling, cigars or cigarettes). A brother-in-law is a big-time collector, and I've gone to comic conventions with him and got autographed copies of newer comics. It is big business today, but I'm not interested, choosing stocks instead. Brother-in-law arranges with stores to get ten copies of each new comic, then later sells off some at a profit. Crazy! I listened to him back in the 1970s and bought multiple copies of each Star Wars comics from #1 into the 1980s, and they greatly increased in value. I just don't understand people who pay big bucks for them.
